Stegner Fellow Readings
During the first year of their fellowship, Stegner Fellows in fiction and poetry are invited to give a public reading from their work.
This reading series typically spans the entire academic year. At each reading, a 2nd year fellow introduces a 1st year fellow in either fiction or poetry. Each reading is followed by a Q&A session with the participating 1st year fellows.
